Thijs Feryn has posted his latest interview video he recoded while at the Zendcon conference in Las Vegas recently. In this new episode he talks with Christian Wenz about PHP, .NET and Las Vegas in general.

Last week I was in Las Vegas for Zendcon. I had the pleasure of catching up with my buddy Christian Wenz.

Christian lives in Munich and he co-owns Arrabiata Solutions. He’s also a consultant and focuses mainly on the web in general. The thing with Christian is that he is both a Microsoft MVP and an established PHP community member.In the interview we talk about the difference between PHP & .NET for web projects and also about both communities.

The second part of the interview is about Las Vegas. Sin City is a place you can love and hate at the same time. We talk about hotels, shows and more.

They talk about Drupal 8, Drupalcon and the community, "Headless Drupal" and Kristof’s role in the community. You can walk the video of the interview through the in-page video player or you can just get the audio over on Soundcloud.

On the Symfony blog today there's a new post talking about a new addition to the "Symfony Live" series of events - Symfony Live Portland happening in May of 2013.

For the first time ever, Symfony Live is going to co-locate with two other significant long-standing conferences: I’m speaking of course about DrupalCon Portland and WebVisions. On May 20-24, you will have 5 days to get trained on Symfony or Drupal features, to attend the talks you want, to meet and learn from other communities and to share your experience with new friends! We’ll all be in cool Portland, isn’t it so great?

You can, of course, purchase a ticket to just the Symfony event but they're also offering combo tickets where you can get a special rate for access to all three conferences. The event will be May 20th through 24th in Portland, Oregon.
